Claypool, IV, (Rev. Dr.) John Rowan. Papers

The Claypool Papers are a complete archive of the ministerial records of a noted American preacher. His writings are especially representative of modern themes of redemption, personal Christian witness, and the valuation of life in its diverse expression. Of narrower but significant interest is Claypool's theological transformation from Southern Baptist minister to Episcopal priest. The archive contains audiovisual recordings, indexed sermons, correspondence, books, photographs, news clippings, publicity materials, and scrapbooks.

Daniels, Jonathan Myrick. Records

This collection of Jonathan Daniels historical materials was assembled almost entirely by donations to the Episcopal Divinity School Sherrill Library. It includes materials generated by EDS in the course of responding to the Daniels tragedy and establishing the Jonathan Daniels Fellowship Fund and related programming. It also includes oral interviews, photographs, books, articles, and clippings relating to Daniels; published and unpublished audio and video recordings; transcripts of the trial of Thomas Coleman, the man who shot Daniels; and research files donated by authors of works about Daniels. Copies of original works by Daniels (school papers and exams, articles, correspondence, and sermons) round out the collection.

Allin, (Most Rev.) John Maury. Papers

The Allin Papers rank as the most comprehensive archive of personal papers of any primate in The Episcopal Church. The archive documents each of the venues in which Allin practiced his ordained ministry and, equally importantly, closely reflects the relationships he developed in his vocational life.

The archive concentrates on Allin’s 1974-1985 term as Presiding Bishop but provides substantial evidence of his service to the Church in ordained ministry, as well as personal pursuits after his retirement. The collection includes sermons, correspondence, photographs, and audio and video recordings. Allin’s life prior to his election as Presiding Bishop is documented by personal calendars, correspondence, and photographs.

Spong, (Rt. Rev.) John Shelby. Project Records

This archive documents the records created by John Shelby Spong as he conducted research for an unfinished biography of former Presiding Bishop John Elbridge Hines, whom Spong admired for his courageous civil rights activism. Included are audio interviews recorded with and about Hines between 1974 and 1975, fifty-three of which have been digitized by the Archives. Research materials related to Spong’s planning and execution of the project, as well as his gathered documentation on the various stages of Hines’ ministry, round out the collection.
